A profoundly original interpretation of life by the great lecturer's hermit brother of which the Dial, Chicago says: "Truly a satirist and humorist of a different kidney from the ordinary sort is this companionable hermit. There is many a chuckle in his little book."

This volume has a special claim to attention as the poet was invited to read these poems at Oxford University at the 1915 Summer Meeting. The Oxford Chronicle in a long account "of one of the greatest pleasures provided for the Meeting," remarked that "the ideal is perfectly attained when the poet can recite his own poems with the artistry with which Mr. Holborn introduced to his audience his charming 'Children of Fancy.'"
Mr. Holborn swam with part of the MSS. from the Lusitania, and the Edinburgh Evening News says that "he has commemorated the tragedy in lines of sublime pathos."
AMERICAN REVIEW OF REVIEWS says: "Mr. Holborn's poetry is delicate, musical, rhapsodic; often shaped to enfold classical themes, always of proportioned comeliness, filled with a vague haunting of indefinable beauty that can never be embraced in words. It is a book of poetry for poets; one can hardly say more."
